Trump to mobilize National Guard across 19 states to aid law enforcement, ICE

Plans for action are set to take place in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, and Wyoming. The troops will be active in the states from August through mid-November, according to documents obtained by Fox News.

The presence of the National Guard troops in the states will serve as a visual deterrent against crime will help in a sweeping effort to handle case management in the processing of illegal immigrants.

"The in-and-out processing may include personal data collection, fingerprinting, DNA swabbing and photographing of personnel in ICE custody," the official told reporters.

This comes as Trump announced the deployment of National Guard troops in the Washington, DC area to curb criminality that has been taking place at high rates. On Friday, Trump also hinted that other cities with high crime rates would face similar scenarios.

"I think Chicago will be our next. And then we'll help with New York," Trump said.

"We won’t speculate on further operations but can tell you that the department is a planning organization and continues to work and plan with other agency partners to protect federal assets and personnel," a DOD official told the outlet.

The Virginia National Guard (VNG) addressed how operations would go in the state next to DC.

"VNG personnel will not conduct law enforcement functions, and VNG support will not include making arrests," a VNG spokesman told the outlet. "VNG Soldiers and Airmen will report directly to ICE leadership at their assigned duty locations but remain under the control and direction of the Virginia Governor and Adjutant General of Virginia."

Texas is projected to have the highest number of Guard troops.
